In this paper, I discuss the effects of a World Heritage property listing in terms of conservation, using as a case study the Maloti-Drakensberg Park, a transboundary area located in South Africa and Lesotho. More precisely, I question to what degree the 2013 extension of the UNESCO property initially listed in 2000, to include the Sehlabathebe National Park in Lesotho, led to changes in the modalities of rock art sites conservation, these sites being key heritage resources into this area. I demonstrate that the conservation outcomes of a World Heritage listing depend on several interacting parameters, such as the type of property listed, the listing procedure, the functioning of the list, the actors involved, and the multi-scale issues associated with the listed property. In conclusion, I emphasise the need for multi-scale contextualisation to discuss the effectiveness of a World Heritage listing for the conservation of a property and I present possible ways of action to improve its effects.
